    Grilled oysters on the half shell with garlic herb butter

    Fresh local oysters grilled just until the shells pop open, finished with a splash of garlic butter.

    Oysters over the fire

    Nothing tastes more like the coast — oysters on the half shell grilled until warm and briny, finished with sizzling garlic butter.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Preheat the grill to medium-high.
    2. Mix the butter, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, red pepper flakes, and salt into a compound butter.
    3. Place the oysters flat-side up on the grill and cook 3-5 minutes until the shells pop slightly.
    4. Remove the top shells, loosen the oysters, and top each with a spoonful of the garlic butter.
    5. Grill 1 minute more until the butter melts, then serve immediately with lemon wedges.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Discard any oyster that doesn't open. The compound butter can be made ahead — keep it chilled until you need it.
